Ice Cream Cake
Ice Cream Cake is a name shared by two distinct indica-dominant lineages: a widely recognized dessert-forward hybrid from Seed Junky Genetics and an earlier, award-winning cultivar from Mad Scientist Genetics.
About Ice Cream Cake
The name Ice Cream Cake refers to two separate breeding projects that share little in common beyond their moniker. The version most frequently encountered in modern dispensaries was created by Seed Junky Genetics, which crossed Wedding Cake with Gelato #33. This iteration is recognized for its dense, resin-coated flowers and a complex aromatic profile featuring notes of sweet dough, vanilla, nuts, citrus, and pepper. Users typically report an initial euphoric onset that transitions into deep, heavy relaxation.
An earlier, distinct version was released by Mad Scientist Genetics, created by crossing Cheesecake with Dream Cookie—a lineage that traces back to GSC and Blue Dream. This cultivar, which secured first place in the Best Indica category at the 2018 IC 420 Growers Cup, is noted for a sweet, sour, and nutty flavor profile with vanilla undertones and reported THC levels around 23%. Because these two lines possess entirely different genetic histories, the breeder is the primary indicator of the specific experience and flavor profile one might expect.
Plant characteristics
The Mad Scientist Genetics version produces medium-to-tall plants that reach maturity in approximately 56 days of indoor flowering. The buds are small and tight, characterized by dark green and purple foliage, prominent orange pistils, and a light dusting of trichomes. The Seed Junky Genetics version produces average-sized plants that also flower in about 56 days. These plants develop buds ranging from bright green to dark purple, accented by orange pistils and a dense covering of white, shimmering trichomes.
